  • Summary

  • Host Tats interviews pro pickleball player Max Manthou ("Purple Jesus"), who shares the story behind his nickname and his transition from college tennis at UW to pickleball after serving in the Peace Corps. Initially self-taught, Max later refined his game under a coach, focusing on deception, space control, and strategic aggression.

    He discusses adapting as a shorter player, using two-handed counters, and the competitive yet cooperative nature of pickleball. Max also introduces his book, A Pickleball Gospel, an anthropological study on the sport’s community, culture, and addictiveness, now available on Amazon.
